→ HOW TO MAKE IT
① ADD THE HEARTY INGREDIENTS
Place the diced potatoes, corn, chopped onion, garlic, broth, salt, pepper, thyme, and smoked paprika into your slow cooker. Stir to combine.
② LET IT SLOW COOK
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker and the size of your potato pieces.
③ MAKE IT CREAMY
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Stir the milk, heavy cream, butter, and cornstarch mixture into the chowder during the final 20–30 minutes of cooking. Cover and cook until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.
④ ADD A LITTLE EXTRA COMFORT
For a thicker, heartier texture, gently mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker and stir them back into the soup.
If desired, stir in the shredded cheddar until melted.
⑤ SERVE IT WARM
Ladle the chowder into bowls and finish with chopped green onions or parsley. Add a little extra black pepper, grab some warm bread, and enjoy!

★ THE SECRET TO PERFECT CHOWDER
Don't add the dairy too early! Milk and cream can separate during prolonged cooking, so adding them near the end helps create a smoother, creamier finish.
For an especially thick chowder, mash a portion of the cooked potatoes instead of adding more cream. You'll get a naturally creamy texture while keeping all that delicious potato flavor.
